Cal Smart Tex-Mex Turkey Chili

Cal Smart Tex-Mex Turkey Chili

with Lime Crema

Thick, hearty, spicy chili gets a blast of cool freshness from a Greek-yogurt-based lime crema. Cheddar cheese is the perfect topping. If you like it melted, just wait a couple of minutes after topping your bowls with cheese before adding the crema and serving.

Cooking Steps

Prep ingredients
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce. 
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Core, then finely chop jalapeño. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños.) 
  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse beans.
Cook veggies
2
  • Heat a large pot over medium-high. 
  • When the pot is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then peppers, mirepoix and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) jalapeños. (TIP: Use less if you prefer a milder chili. Use more if you prefer a spicy chili!)
  • Cook for 5-6 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp. 
Cook turkey
3
  • Add turkey to the pot with the veggies.
  • Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up turkey into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.** 
  • Add garlic puree and Mexican Seasoning. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
Cook chili
4
  • To the pot with turkey, add crushed tomatoes, half the black beans (use all for 4 portions) and 1 cup (2 cup) water. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil over high. (TIP: Reserve remaining beans for another use.)
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium.
  • Simmer for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until chili thickens slightly. (TIP: If you have time, keep it simmering on the stove for longer – chili gets better the longer it cooks.)
Make lime crema
5
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
  • In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lime zest, lime juice and half the green onions.
Finish and serve
6
  • When chili is done, add veggies. 
  • Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until warmed through.
  • Divide chili between bowls.
  • Top with cheese.
  • Dollop lime crema over top, then sprinkle over remaining green onions.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top.
